thirst and frequent urination in dogs

As the previous poster stated, often keeping your blood glucose (BG) under control will help to alleviate diabetes symptoms such as increased thirst and frequent urination. If you are not checking your blood sugar at home, I would recommend making an appointment with your doctor to check your blood glucose and make sure that your medication is at the correct dose to manage your diabetes.

Frequent urination, loss of bladder control, extreme thirst, feeling cold, cold chills... are all signs of Diabetes. You should visit your doctor and bring him your symptoms so he can help you and diagnose your correctly.

The intense thirst and frequent urination ABSOLUTELY sound like juvenile diabetes, and the exhaustion is highly suspicious. I have never heard of scabs being a symptom. Have they checked her blood sugar level and done a urine test? Make sure they do!

Your symptoms do not particularly sound like diabetes (common symptoms are frequent urination, increased thirst and weight loss). See your doctor if your problems continue.

You're posting here because you think your thirst and frequent urination symptom is related to diabetes. This is true but the urination part also can be related to prostrate problems, urinary tract infection, and/or a bladder a infection. You need to see a doctor for a complete evaluation and necessary treatment. It won't go away on its own, it will only get worse to the point of hospitalization. Get off the computer and go see a doctor.

Frequent urination, extreme thirst and bloating are signs of diabetes. I agree with Sally - you need to get checked.

Others are Dry mouth, Thirst, Frequent Urination, Blurry vision, Weight loss, and Increased appetite. You need to see a doctor and get tested for diabetes: an OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test), a fasting glucose test, or an A1c test. If diabetes runs in the family your chance of getting it is higher than most.

I know that frequent urination is a sign of diabetes so I am concerned. Are there any other signs of diabetes I should look for? Any other possible explanations? I would love to put my mind at ease.

Excessive thirst is a very common symptom of a high blood sugar and keytones in your blood system. The excessive thirst is always accompinied by frequent urination. The thirst is often for something sweet, because your body is looking for energy where ever it can get it. Other symptoms include rapid weight-loss and not the good kind either, before I was diagnosed I lost 35lbs in 2 weeks. If you do exhibit these symptoms get your blood sugar tested if you have access to a glucose tester.

s consuming a normal amount of food and water, but her bladder is too small to hold all the fluid, and she has frequent urination which can lead to accidents. They have a pill for this, but I don't remember what it's called. Hope this helps. And remember, take all responses with a grain of salt. This is, afterall, the internet.

He has been suffering for about 8 months, with frequent headaches, constant thirst and nose bleeds. At least three to four days out of the week. His peditrician checked him for diabetes about six months ago. As a parent, I am very concerned it is possibly something more and the condition is being overlooked. What could all of this mean?

For instance, drinking too much water can actually cause dry mouth/extreme thirst (as noted in the article), which will, in turn, cause us to drink more, causing more frequent urination... BUT extreme thirst (and in turn, frequent urination) is a prime symptom of dangerously high blood sugar levels, which can cause coma and death, if not treated immediately. One should NEVER make the assumption that extreme thirst is either over or dehydration, since it may likely be neither.

I have never known zinc to do anything like that. Zinc is a mineral that helps the skin and nerves get healthy. Check your diet - if you are eating too much sugar or carbs you might have frequent urination caused by hypoglycemia or pre-diabetes. Maybe you didn't pee often enough before and the zinc is healing your bladder... Are you drinking more water? You should in hot weather.

m not a physician, but the symptoms of untreated diabetes include thirst, frequent urination, and tiredness. Some children are diagnosed shortly after some other health problem like a virus, so I urge you to have her evaluated right away. Diabetes is certainly treatable ... and the sooner one gets an accurate diagnosis, the better. Please check in again, for you may get other replies ... and let us know what the official medical evaluation shows.

Can this be from the medication or is she in pain? The vet thinks she may have brain tumor, and I want to make sure she is not in pain.

I read on that web site stop the thyroid madness that you can lack Aldosterone which is a hormone your adrenals produce when you have low coritsol you can have low adlosterone also when it gets to low your kidneys excete tow much salt which leads to low blood pressure, fatigue and a craving for salt and also frequent urination and sweating and a feeling of thirst.

s (although only comes back with white blood cells in urine and I do not respond to antibiotics), fullness feeling in abdomen, fatigue, and extreme thirst. I have had urodynamics test done, a CT scan, ultrasound, urnialysis, and not the potassium test and yet my symptoms are still here. Any ideas what it could be or is there something they could be missing?

What are the causes of tingling in back. excessive thirst and frequent urination? Also what are the causes of depression?

Go to your doctor and have him perform a physical and run some blood work. It could be a lot of things but be on the safe side and get checked out.

So the real question to ask yourself is whether you have any other symptoms of diabetes, the more typical symptoms such as constant thirst, lethargy, frequent urination, hunger even though you are eating more than usual, etc.

I'm thinking that you should take him to his pediatrician and have his blood tested, especially with a family history of diabetes. Another typical symptom that goes along with the increased thirst is frequent urination. If you have noticed this also, make sure you mention this to the doctor along with the irritability you mentioned in your posting. If it is diabetes, the sooner he gets treatment, the better it will be for him both physicially and emotionally (for everyone involved!).
